Clockwise from the upper left corner: "Jello Surprise" Bath Bomb ,  "Moose Mug" Solid Bubble Bath ,  "Bend Over & I'll Show You" Fortune Cookie Soap ,  "Sparky" Fortune Cookie Soap , "Mele Kalikimaka" Fortune Cookie Soap ,  "I Pledge Allegiance, Amen!" Fortune Cookie Soap ,  "SQUIRREL!" Wax Tart ,  "Sparky" Wax Tart . Middle: Partylite Snowy Owl ScentGlow Warmer For those of you not familiar with Fortune Cookie Soap you might not fully comprehend the names of these delightful scents; that's OK! I am gonna fill you in; this year FCS went with an 'Old Fashioned Family Christmas' theme that incorporated their 'deep and abiding love' of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (Chevy Chase style). So, now, I am sure re-reading those names will click. Oh, and don't worry, "Jello Surprise" is not Lime Jello and Cat Food scented! On the final post of my WIN-ter Wonderl...

I've had several breaks, peeling, hang nails, and dry cracking skin. So, I will be giving my nails a few weeks to recoup. In the mean time I will be doing some non-polish related posts.
